The handset has phase detection auto focus that allows focusing on a subject in just 0.1 seconds. Under the camera is the fingerprint sensor that can be used to unlock the Honor 7 with just a tap.
The Huawei handset has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS connectivity. The Honor 7 comes running on Android 5.0 Lollipop. A powerful 3,100 mAh battery fuels the Honor 7.
